Step 1
Wash the rose petals carefully to get off any critters and dirt. Then dry well.
Step 2
Place the petals in a large sterilized glass jar and then pour the vodka over the petals, making sure to completely cover them in the liquid. Then close the jar and store in a dark, cool location, such as a cupboard, for 2-3 days.During this time, the flavor, smell, and even color will leech from the petals into the vodka.
Step 3
Sieve the rose vodka mixture to remove the petals and then decant it into sterilized glass jars or even dropper bottles.
Step 4
Just like vanilla extract, this pure rose extract can be stored at room temperature, in a dark cupboard.I'm not sure exactly how long it will last, as I always run out before reaching that point. Though, due to the alcohol, the shelf life should be several months at-least.
